I tend to have a wide range myself, consisting of guns I have bought and others I have inherited. At the end of the day it's about what you like vs having an all matching set, at least to me.

The only reason I have passed on them is ammo price, no other reason.

Of your two options, I'd go with the 30-06, because that's what I have experience with. Having said that, remember the ancient montra of our forefathers "bullet placement, bullet placement, bullet placement". If you can handle one better than the other, or think that handling one might be an...

Wow that is amazing! Good shooting! I'm going to scope mine, since it will be night hunting and all, but let me tell you, if I can get mine to group like that at 100 yards I'll be plenty pleased for sure!

Have to agree with both of the above, not a huge fan of muzzle breaks. Not that they don't work, they do! Just not my cup of tea.

Personally I like the Edwards line of recoil reducers, they seem to really work well for myself and my wife.

Well dag-nab-it! That is pretty piece for sure! Hopefully more rifles released means there's a growing market for this sort of thing!

Picked it up in .44 Mag. I figured "it's Africa, might as well go a little bigger" lol

Welp, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Henry Big Boy of the Hardened (not shiny Brass) variety. Octagon 20 inch barrel, wooden furniture. I'll let you all know how it works when I get it in! I'm thinking of putting a 3-9 scope on it ( I know, I know, sacrilege!) and zeroing it at 50...

Thank you! It's great to hear from yourself, and others who have commented here, that this is an actual option! I was worried that I might have missed something obvious and this plan would go out of the window!

I wasn't aware of those other two lever actions, thank you for the heads up!

I appreciate your help everyone! It looked like it would work "per the book" but you never know for sure! Probably going to pick it up in a 20" Henry Big Boy. I don't like the flashy gold, but there aren't a lot of good new, or affordable used, options sadly.
